Paralympics New Zealand ANNUAL REPORT 2018 32 32

Paralympics New Zealand (PNZ) is delighted to introduce the 2017 – 2018 Annual Report and financial statements for an 18-month reporting period.

It has been both a privilege and a pleasure to continue in the role of Chair at such an important and positive time both for the organisation and the Paralympic movement as a whole.

The phenomenal success of New Zealand Paralympians at the PyeongChang 2018 Paralympic Winter Games and New Zealand Para athletes at the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games, exemplified the ability of PNZ and the Paralympic movement to shine on the world stage and to inspire and excite the New Zealand community.

The New Zealand Paralympic Team of 3 Paralympians and 7 support staff that competed in PyeongChang 2018 once again proved how New Zealand punches above its weight on the world’s biggest sporting stage. The performances of Adam Hall, Corey Peters and Carl Murphy were exceptional. New Zealand won a total of 3 medals - 1 gold and 2 bronze and achieved four top 10 finishes. These performances exceeded the medal target, placing the country 16th on the overall medal table and 6th in the world for medals won per capita. Overall, there were 569 Para athletes competing from 49 delegations, including newcomers Georgia, North Korea and Tajikistan. Following its debut as disciplines under the Para alpine skiing programme in Sochi 2014, Para snowboarding was expanded into a separate sport with additional competitions.

In a landmark moment for Para sport in New Zealand, at the PyeongChang 2018 Paralympic Winter Games, Para alpine skier Adam Hall won the Whang Youn Dai Achievement Award. This award is presented at the Paralympic Games to one male and one female athlete who each “best exemplify the spirit of the Games and inspire and excite the world”. According to the International Paralympic Committee (IPC), “the award is for someone who is fair, honest and is uncompromising in his or her values and prioritises the promotion of the Paralympic movement above personal recognition.” PNZ was thrilled that this award was bestowed upon New Zealander Adam Hall and is a testament to Adam and his performance both on and off the field of play.

New Zealand Para athletes have continued to perform with distinction both domestically and internationally and PNZ congratulates each and every Para athlete and their support teams on their sporting success. There has been a focus on widening the pool of Para athletes and coaches in New Zealand and utilising Para sport research and innovation to enhance performance success.

PNZ wishes to acknowledge and thank the Governor General, Her Excellency The Right Honourable Dame Patsy Reddy for continuing to perform the role of Patron. PNZ is also well served by its Board and I thank them all for their diligence and the knowledge and skills that they bring to the governance role.

PNZ remains committed to contributing in the international arena through participation in influential international forums. PNZ Board member and Paralympian Duane Kale was elected as Vice President to the IPC Governing Board in September 2017. This is an outstanding achievement and is a tribute to Duane’s credibility and good standing within the membership. Duane continues to make an outstanding contribution to Para sport through his work with IPC President, Andrew Parsons and the IPC Governing Board.

PNZ Board member and Paralympian Paula Tesoriero was appointed Disability Rights Commissioner in June 2017, a role that enables her to make a meaningful contribution to changing the outcomes for disabled New Zealanders. As further testament to her influence both in New Zealand and internationally, Paula had the honour of serving as Acting Chief Human Rights Commissioner from May 2018 to January 2019.

As Secretary General of the Oceania Paralympic Committee I also continue to have a focus on supporting the capability and development of Para sport within the Oceania region.

PNZ thanks our commercial partners for their passion and support. It is through these partnerships that PNZ continues to enhance its position as a global leader in Para sport whilst also contributing to a more diverse and inclusive New Zealand. Long standing partner Adecco delivered the 5th annual Prime Minister’s Dinner and the PNZ Board is extremely grateful to Mike Davies and his team at Adecco for their ongoing support of these prestigious and enjoyable events.

PNZ wishes to express thanks to our Member organisations for their ongoing commitment to the growth of Para sport. As experts in their fields, PNZ knows that collaboration is a must for Para sport to flourish. PNZ looks forward to strengthening our partnerships with our members over the coming year as we continue preparations for the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games and Beijing 2022 Paralympic Winter Games.

Finally, thank you to my colleagues on the PNZ Board, Chief Executive, Fiona Allan, and the staff at PNZ – your leadership, expertise and passion for Para sport is very evident and bodes well for the future success and growth of Para sport in New Zealand.

Paralympics New Zealand ANNUAL REPORT 2018 54 54

CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPORT GOVERNANCE REPORT

In 2018 Paralympics New Zealand (PNZ) celebrated its 50th anniversary. 50 years since a team of 16 Para athletes travelled to Israel, with Paralympian Eve Rimmer bringing home 4 medals from the Tel Aviv 1968 Paralympic Games – a gold, two silver and a bronze. New Zealand has now competed and medalled at 12 consecutive summer Paralympic Games and 11 consecutive Paralympic Winter Games and medalled in all but two.

PNZ continues to be a widely respected and effective leader in New Zealand sport and Para sport globally. Whilst the spotlight shone on PyeongChang in South Korea for the PyeongChang 2018 Paralympic Winter Games the New Zealand Paralympic Team was simply outstanding. We were proud of the collaboration with Snow Sports NZ and High Performance Sport New Zealand (HPSNZ) to provide our winter Paralympians the best chance of success. I wish to acknowledge and thank PNZ Chef De Mission, Ashley Light and PNZ Games Campaign and Sports Manager, Lynette Grace for their leadership in the lead up to, and at the PyeongChang 2018 Paralympic Winter Games.

The New Zealand Paralympic Team was officially welcomed home by Prime Minister, the Rt Hon Jacinda Ardern. The Hon Carmel Sepuloni, Minister for Disability Issues and members of the Geilo 1980 Team (New Zealand’s first team to ever compete at a Paralympic Winter Games) and the three gold, silver and bronze medallists from the Innsbruck 1984 Team (New Zealand’s first team to win medals at a Paralympic Winter Games).

The production and support teams from TVNZ and Attitude Pictures worked tirelessly to deliver live and free-to-air coverage of the PyeongChang 2018 Paralympic Winter Games on Duke, 1 News and TVNZ OnDemand reaching 1.6m Kiwis.

The success of 2018 continued with a key step towards the PNZ vision - ‘excellence and equity through sport’ – achieved. The Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced a ground breaking HPSNZ initiative that will now see pay parity of Performance Enhancement Grants (PEGs) for Para athletes in New Zealand. This will greatly assist Para athletes to compete and reach their potential at future Paralympic Games.

As a member of the International Paralympic Committee (IPC), PNZ is part of a worldwide social change movement, which uses the power of sport to positively influence community perceptions of disabled people and to promote a more diverse and inclusive society. PNZ continues to advocate for sport to become more accessible for disabled people and to support the creation of more systems and programmes to enable participation in Para sport through working collaboratively with Member organisations. PNZ looks forward to working with our Members, Sport New Zealand and HPSNZ to grow participation in Para sport in New Zealand and ensure sustainable quality Para sport pathways are in place.

PNZ funding continues to come from a mix of government, public donations, fundraisers, philanthropic partners, commercial partners, and community grants, and we continue to be grateful for the support received. Together with our partners, PNZ identifies opportunities, shares expertise and works towards creating a solid platform for success at the Paralympic Games, and through increased media, helping to change societal attitudes towards disabled people. PNZ wishes to thank TVNZ and Attitude Pictures for their continued support and confirmation of broadcast coverage through to the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games. PNZ wishes to thank our commercial partners for their enthusiasm and dedication to support PNZ and we look forward to continued initiatives and programmes. A huge thanks to community grant funders for their incredible support.

PNZ was thrilled to receive support from the NZ Lottery Grants Board in 2018 and as a result I very much look forward to celebrating our history and heritage as we officially recognise the achievements of New Zealand’s 209 Paralympians since Tel Aviv 1968 during the lead-up to Tokyo 2020.

To the Para athletes, coaches and support staff who have represented New Zealand over 2017 and 2018 congratulations and thank you.

To the dedicated staff and contractors at PNZ thank you for your ongoing commitment, dedication, support and passion. PNZ is very fortunate to have such a great team.

COMMERCIAL & MARKETING REPORT

The Spirit of Gold® Initiative continues to provide a framework for all Paralympics New Zealand (PNZ) commercial and marketing activity. It delivers an evolving set of events and content that provide great opportunities for PNZ commercial partners and the community to be involved.

It supports PNZ’s role as an advocate for understanding and acceptance of disability, working positively to influence community perceptions of disabled people.

It is clear that the New Zealand Paralympic Team, through exceptional success, has transformed a nation’s thinking. The success of Kiwi Paralympians in PyeongChang was amplified by the work of broadcast partners TVNZ and Attitude Pictures, building upon the Rio 2016 broadcast triumph.

COMMUNICATIONS In the lead up to PyeongChang, PNZ built layers of communications activity with the media and public to trigger anticipation for the broadcast of the PyeongChang 2018 Paralympic Winter Games. PNZ conducted a well-publicised national selection event with the New Zealand Paralympic Team. Milestones such as ‘1 year to go’ were celebrated and the Team was given a send-off in a special event at Government House in November 2017 hosted by PNZ Patron, Her Excellency The Rt Hon Dame Patsy Reddy.

In parallel, PNZ worked very closely with TVNZ and Attitude Pictures, to support their production plans for the Games. This included managing pre-Games content collection (such as interviews with Para athletes) and media training with Paralympians, to help them understand how best to support the broadcast. During the Games itself, PNZ sent a Media Manager to PyeongChang, supported by a small team in New Zealand, to write and provide content back into all New Zealand media, including broadcast partners. This media service achieved its ambition, triggering coverage amongst all media, thus driving broadcast audiences. TVNZ and Attitude Pictures reported exceptional viewership figures – over 1.6 million New Zealanders tuned into the Games on 1News, DUKE and TVNZ OnDemand. Back home in New Zealand, PNZ worked with a wide range of stakeholders to put together a much deserved two-part Welcome Home event for the team at Auckland Airport and AUT Millennium.

The first Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games milestone was celebrated in August 2018 marking ‘2 years to go’. This was supported by key stories across media with schools, businesses and organisations ‘going gold’ as part of the annual Spirit of Gold Mufti Day.

PARTNERSHIPS PNZ is proud to have continued the growth of its commercial programme and introduced new commercial and fundraising partnerships in the build up to the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games and beyond.

We welcomed Tower Insurance to our family of partners as a “Major Partner of Paralympics New Zealand” and look forward to working with Tower on new initiatives in our communities.

PNZ’s partnership with Toyota saw the release of the Paracam video series – light-hearted interviews with Paralympians, talking about their lives, commitments and interests outside of sport and filmed while driving in one of the fantastic PNZ branded Toyota Rav 4s. The Paracam series is released via the PNZ and Toyota digital channels and is ongoing.

ACC supported PNZ with a second series of ACC Paralympics New Zealand Open Days; in Wellington, New Plymouth, Auckland, Tauranga and Dunedin. These events received great feedback as disabled people and members of the community were introduced to Para sport and given the opportunity to experience, learn and “have a go”. ACC staff were highly supportive of the Open Days with many attending in their regions. The ACC Sports Rehab Pathway Programme is another valuable initiative, encouraging those with injuries to participate in sport to enhance their recovery.

Harvey Norman continued its strong partnership with PNZ supporting Para athletes through the establishment of the “Harvey Norman PNZ National Development Programme”. The programme includes regional and national development camps, open training camps, introductory clinics, talent identification days, individualised Para athlete support, coach development and classification opportunities and is a much-valued commitment to PNZ Para athlete development pathways from Harvey Norman.

Sanford enlisted the help of Paralympian Cameron Leslie to feature in a Health and Safety video titled “Think Safe, Be Safe, Home Safe”. The video was created to reinforce safety messages to employees and then rolled out nationally promoting safety in the workplace. Cameron shared his personal story and by doing so the campaign challenged community perceptions, showcasing disability in a positive way.

Executive Travel joined the PNZ family of partners as “Official Supply Partner” of PNZ and will provide travel services to the organisation and its Para athletes and stakeholders. PNZ sincerely thanks its commercial partners and suppliers for their support: Toyota, High Performance Sport New Zealand, Adecco, ACC, Tower Insurance, Harvey Norman, Sanford, TVNZ, Attitude Pictures, Maersk, Oceanbridge, Simpson Grierson, Blue Star, Executive Travel and New Zealand Chambers of Commerce.

FUNDRAISING PNZ continues to develop its fundraising portfolio, seeking new opportunities to ensure PNZ achieves its revenue objectives.

Adecco once again, organised the popular annual Adecco Prime Minister’s Dinner event in 2017 and 2018. This is a special evening on the PNZ calendar as dignitaries, PNZ commercial partners and special guests come together with our Paralympians and Para athletes to celebrate their achievements and generously raise funds for Tokyo 2020. The event was especially significant in 2018 as it celebrated the 50th anniversary of PNZ and launched The Celebration Project to acknowledge the 209 Paralympians who have represented New Zealand.

The annual Carbine Club Golf Day was also a great success, supported by donations and gifts from commercial partners and local businesses. PNZ would like to thank those partners and businesses that entered teams, donated items and contributed to the total $20,000 raised in 2018.

PNZ was delighted to become the charity of choice for Lions 202L District for 1 year during 2017 and 2018. Clubs within the Waikato and Bay of Plenty region held various fundraising events and initiatives and the funds raised contributed to community Para sport programmes and supporting Para athletes on the journey to the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games.

PNZ was selected as one of four charity partners of the Vodafone Warriors collaborating to stage a pop-up Para sport experience at the first Vodafone Warriors Great Charity Games Day. This fun family event allowed PNZ to introduce Para sport to a large audience and to gratefully receive over $17,000 in funds raised.

The annual Spirit of Gold Mufti Day occurred in 2017 and 2018 and was once again was well received by our partners and their staff. Over 100 organisations participated and PNZ greatly appreciates the enthusiasm, effort and imagination that participants contribute to the Mufti Day.

PNZ continued to gratefully receive donations from the public as supporters generously contributed online and as part of the PNZ postal appeal. PNZ acknowledges a significant bequest from Ruth Howie, whose generosity is greatly appreciated.

A special thanks to our gaming, trust and grant partners: NZ Lottery Grants Board, The Lion Foundation, New Zealand Racing Board, NZ Community Trust, Pelorus Trust, Pub Charity, Trusts Community Foundation, Four Winds Foundation, Trillian Trust, First Sovereign, North & South Trust, Stevenson Village Trust, Mt Wellington Foundation Ltd, Blue Sky Community Trust, Southern Trust.

To support these coaches, High Performance Sport New Zealand (HPSNZ) provided PNZ with additional investment to recruit a 0.6FTE Coach Development Manager. In December 2018 it was announced that former HPSNZ Coach Consultant Scott Higgins would take up this role and transition to the PNZ High Performance Programme with the key priority being to support PNZ high performance coach development. Further to this investment HPSNZ Prime Minister’s Scholarships have enabled many Para athletes to continue their education while competing so they are prepared for the workforce at the end of their sporting careers, and for coaches and support staff to continually get better at what they do by keeping abreast of new and innovative ideas.

PNZ and Swimming New Zealand (SNZ) worked in partnership to appoint triple gold medal winning Paralympian Cameron Leslie as SNZ National Para Swimming Development Coordinator. The key purpose of this role is to increase participation of Para swimming in New Zealand and support the integration of Para swimming into the New Zealand swimming club system.

As New Zealand’s National Paralympic Committee and the lead organisation for Para sport, PNZ has a clear goal of transitioning Para sport programmes to National Sports

Organisations by 2020, where appropriate. Further to the initial steps taken by PNZ and SNZ in the transition of Para swimming, PNZ and Athletics New Zealand have continued to further evolve the transition of the Para athletics programme. In December 2018 HPSNZ transferred $500k from PNZ to Athletics New Zealand as part of the successful integration of the Para athletics programme into Athletics.

2018 also saw a historical announcement where the Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced pay parity of Performance Enhancement Grants (PEG) for Paralympians and Para athletes in New Zealand. This announcement recognises that the hard work and sacrifice that comes with excellence on the world stage is the same for all of New Zealand’s elite athletes.

The past 18 months has been one of considerable and constant change. However, the PNZ High Performance Programme continues to deliver results at key international events. With a steady flow of Para athletes coming through the PNZ Community and HPAD Para Sport Pathway, and these Para athletes being exposed to high-quality coaching, the signs of delivering on our Tokyo 2020 medal target are encouraging.

The Paralympics New Zealand (PNZ) High Performance Programme has experienced many changes and successes over the past 18 months. These include Para athlete and coach transition, continued investment for growth and development and integration of Para sport programmes.

Rio 2016 gold and bronze medallist, Nikita Howarth made a successful transition from Para swimming to Para cycling where she was selected to compete at her first UCI Para Cycling Track World Championships in March 2018. Nikita finished ninth in the Women’s Individual Pursuit C4 then progressed over the following 8 months to break the World Record in the Women’s Flying 200m C4 at the Southland Track Cycling Championships. Additional to this, PNZ has observed 7 High Performance Athlete Development (HPAD) Para athlete’s transition from their respective sport-specific development programmes to the PNZ High Performance Programme. The most notable of these have been Nicole Murray who was selected as a HPAD Para athlete to compete at the

2018 UCI Para Cycling Track World Championships and was quickly transitioned into the PNZ Para Cycling High Performance Programme after winning a silver medal in the highly competitive Women’s Individual Pursuit C5.

As PNZ has witnessed Para athlete’s transition into the PNZ High Performance Programme there have also been Para athletes depart. The most notable of these being two-time Paralympian Mary Fisher. Mary having won in total, two gold, two silver and a bronze medal at the Rio 2016 and London 2012 Paralympic Games. Mary retired from international Para swimming in November 2018.

The PNZ High Performance Programme has also experienced significant transitions within the area of Para sport coaching.

Gold medal winning Paralympian Laura Thompson continued with her transition from Para athlete to coach with her first World Championships coaching assignment in March 2018. In January 2018 Simon Mayne transitioned into a full-time role of Para Swimming Performance Coach role with PNZ, while in July 2018 Damian Wiseman commenced as PNZ Para Cycling Hub Coach and Sports Scientist. All three coaches have key roles to play in the delivery of medals at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT REPORT

Paralympics New Zealand (PNZ) has continued to build relationships within the New Zealand Para sport community. This initiative has been successfully utilised to support ACC clients on their rehabilitation journey to engage with community Para sport. A good example of this is PNZ’s increasing support offered to a range of organisations and individuals.

Following development of the PNZ Community Development Strategy in early 2017 much of the work within the PNZ Para Sport Community Development Programme over the past 18 months has been focused on implementing the three strategic priorities, Leadership of Community Para sport, Community Activation and Sector Sustainability.

Through regular engagement and feedback, PNZ has developed a greater understanding of how to best support our Members. Through this information PNZ has provided support to Members as an advisor in several areas including strategy development, organisational structure and event planning. Additionally, PNZ has provided on-going support for specific projects. A key area of success has been the provision of support to PNZ Members developing individual No Exceptions Investment (NEI) applications. All PNZ Members who submitted applications were successful to some degree and it is considered that this will have a significant impact on the quality and availability of NSO and Parafed led Para sport opportunities.

A key project has been the delivery over the past 18 months has been the delivery of five ACC Paralympics New Zealand Open Days. These events have built on the success of the previous Open Days delivered throughout 2016 and 2017. Key outcomes from these events has been PNZ’s ability to broaden awareness of Para sport throughout New Zealand and to develop relationships with stakeholders such as Be Accessible, Regional Sports Trusts and Blind Sport New Zealand.

There have been over 60 new Para athlete registrations through the PNZ website. PNZ believes this highlights the increased awareness and interest from the New Zealand public in Para sport. All individuals have been connected to their local Parafed, or the relevant NSO for their Para sport of interest. To date, this has resulted in 20 Para athletes being selected into PNZ or NSO development squads with 15 of these Para athletes representing New Zealand at international events.

The ACC Rehab Pathway initiative is a joint project between PNZ and ACC. This initiative has been successfully utilised to support ACC clients on their rehabilitation journey to engage with community Para sport. One of the successes from the ACC Rehab Pathway has been the support and follow up individuals receive from PNZ to help get them on a Para sport pathway.

The PNZ Community Development Programme has gone through a process of learning, relationship development and growth. From learning how to best support PNZ Members, to engaging with new stakeholders and providing opportunities for individuals who want to compete as a Para athlete. PNZ believes sound progress has been made with the implementation of the PNZ Community Development Strategy. During this time Sport New Zealand have been completing a review of New Zealand Disability Sport and Active Recreation. With the findings of this review now published, and the Strategy imminent, PNZ will continue to work closely with Members to understand roles and contribute to the future growth of Para sport in New Zealand.

HIGH PERFORMANCE ATHLETE DEVELOPMENT REPORT

The Paralympics New Zealand (PNZ) High Performance Athlete Development (HPAD) Programme is built around three strategic priorities.

Strategic priorities include the following:

• Finding new Para athletes through talent identification.

• Providing evidence-based pathways to support Para athlete’s understanding of how they can progress to becoming a high performing Para athlete.

• Providing sport-specific development programmes that ensure development Para athletes receive the right support for their stage of development.

When providing evidence-based pathways it is important that PNZ develops these through robust academic research. In 2017 AUT Masters student Loretta Hogg commenced her research to explore “Influences on the development for Para athletes with a limb deficiency”. Loretta has now completed this research project and is preparing manuscripts for publication in academic journals. This research was supported through funding provided by New Zealand Artificial Limb Services (NZALS). When considering the findings of this research PNZ felt there was still further opportunities to learn more regarding Para athletes with limb deficiencies. With support from High Performance Sport New Zealand (HPSNZ) through a Prime Ministers (PM) Scholarship and NZALS, PNZ has commissioned PhD student Olivia Baudinet to build on the research of Masters student Loretta Hogg, with research in “Exploring sport participation and wellbeing in people with limb deficiency: Mainstreaming and specialisation”. The findings of this research will be available in June 2021.

Additional to this academic research PNZ regularly consult with various stakeholders to understand the needs of those working with development Para athletes. Based on this feedback and knowledge, PNZ delivered its inaugural Disability Education Seminar in April 2018. This seminar was supported through funding provided by the HPSNZ PM Scholarship Programme. The purpose of this seminar was to inform and educate coaches and support staff about specific disabilities, ensuring these individuals have the knowledge and confidence to work more effectively with New Zealand Para athletes in the future. 70 attendees participated in the seminar and the debrief indicates that it was extremely valuable.

Up and coming New Zealand Para athletes continue to be recognised at the national level with ongoing support from the HPSNZ / Sport New Zealand Pathway to Podium Programme (P2P). To compliment this support PNZ delivered the inaugural PNZ Pathway to Podium camp as part of the newly launched Harvey Norman PNZ National Development Programme in September 2018. The purpose of the camp was to best prepare emerging Para athletes for the transition to high performance and to introduce Para athletes and their coaches to PNZ staff, explain operating frameworks, and facilitate a social network between Para athletes and coaches across Para sports. 17 Para athletes, 6 Para sport coaches and 4 Para sport programme leaders from 8 Para sports attended and the follow-on debrief indicated the camp was highly valued with the recommendation PNZ deliver this initiative on an annual basis.

The PNZ HPAD Programme is focused on providing Para athletes with opportunities that will support their progress through a Para sport pathway and ultimately lead them to entering a Para sport high performance programme. Measures of PNZ's success in accomplishing this have been evident with several individuals. Some examples include Nicole Murray who as a HPAD athlete attended the 2018 UCI Para Cycling Track World Championships. Nicole came away with a silver medal and then transitioned into the PNZ Para Cycling High Performance Programme. Additionally, Para swimmer Celyn Edwards who was a member of the PNZ Para Swimming HPAD Programme, transitioned into the PNZ High Performance Programme after progressing to a world ranking of 7th in his priority event at the end of the 2018 calendar year.

Much focus of the PNZ HPAD Programme over the past 18 months has been to provide support to Para athletes assisting them to achieve their own goals of entering a Para sport high performance programme and ultimately, competing at the Paralympic Games. To date, it is evident we are tracking well in this area however this wouldn’t be possible without the support from key stakeholders such as HPSNZ, NZALS, National Sport Organisations and the New Zealand Parafed network.


CLASSIFICATION REPORT

The New Zealand Para Sport Classification Strategy leads and supports classification within New Zealand Para sports. This strategy continues to be world leading, whereby confidence in classification is upheld, the impact of eligible impairment on sport performance is minimized and more Para athletes are given opportunities to participate and develop on a pathway to medal winning performances.

Strategic priorities include the following:

• Readily available classification resources.

• Classification support to high performance Para sport programmes.

• Guidance and monitoring of New Zealand Para sport's code compliant classification activities.

Classification resources are readily available on the Paralympics New Zealand (PNZ) website. These forms and documents are regularly updated to meet IPC requirements and best practice guidelines. Community events such as the ACC Paralympics New Zealand Open Days provided a great opportunity to share resources with the public and increase understanding of classification. Classification education presentations were delivered to over 100 participants across a variety of events throughout 2018 including the PNZ Disability Seminar in April, Paediatric Physiotherapy Seminar in June and the Pathway to Podium Forum in September.

Classification support has been provided to Para cycling, Para swimming, Shooting Para sport. This has included, but not limited to, the coordination of medical diagnostics information for new and review national and international Classifications, medical review requests and protest submissions.

PNZ has given guidance and support to Badminton NZ, Waka Ama NZ, Boccia NZ, Swimming NZ, Athletics NZ, Table Tennis NZ, Triathlon NZ and Rowing NZ for the development and implementation of Code compliant classification activities.

Further to this, PNZ has provided provisional classification certifications to athletes competing at the AIMS Games and Halberg Disability Games where sports have been run under Para sport rules. Categorisation certifications have been allocated to NZDF athletes training to compete at the Invictus Games.

The PNZ Classification Manager attended the 2018 IPC NPC Classification Experts Meeting, Bonn, Germany which had ‘The Future of Classification’ as its key agenda item. Other topics addressed were athlete Classification Code compliance, collection of medical diagnostic information, Classification developments for visual impairments, the removal of factoring systems in Para sports and athlete data protection. Information from this meeting was shared with relevant personnel.

PNZ would like to congratulate many of New Zealand’s talented classifiers on the international appointments they have achieved including:

• Rebecca Foulsham, International Classifier - World Para Athletics, appointed to 3 international panels including 1 as Chief Classifier:

• Marguerite Christophers, Head of Classification - International Triathlon Union, appointed 3 international panels, including 2 as Chief Classifier.

• Vicky Melville, International Classifier – Federation Equestrian International, appointed to 2 international panels.

• Ruth McLaren, International Classifier - World Para swimming, appointed to 3 international panels, including 2 as Chief Classifier.

• Christine Ongley, International Classifier – World Para Alpine Skiing and World Para Snowboard, appointed to 3 international panels.

• Garth Ritchie, International Classifier for Intellectual Impairment – World Para Athletics appointed to 3 international Para athletics events, 2 of which he was Chief Classifier.

• Helen McKenzie, International Classifier – Para World Sailing appointed to 2 international panels.

• Kerry Jenkinson, International Classifier – Boccia International Sports Federation, appointed to one international panel.

• Sara Edwards, Brendon Vercoe, Deborah Bowditch and Binnie O’Dwyer, International Wheelchair Rugby classifiers appointed to international panels including 1 Chief Classifier appointment.

• Rebecca Foulsham, World Para Athletics and Marguerite Christophers, International Triathlon Union, are both classification educators.

• Ruth Mclaren, World Para Swimming and Marguerite Christophers, International Triathlon Union, are both members of Classification Advisory Groups within their respective sports.

PNZ would like to welcome new National Eligibility Officer (NEO) Ros Pullen to a key voluntary role that involves the verification of eligibility applications from intellectually impaired athletes throughout New Zealand. Ros has replaced Garth Ritchie who has dedicated five years of his valued

time to this role and PNZ would like to thank Garth for his professionalism and tireless dedication that ensured many Para athletes with an intellectual impairment were able to begin on their sporting pathway.

Many classifiers have continued with ongoing professional development opportunities as the result of HPSNZ Prime Minister’s Scholarships being awarded. PNZ is grateful for the funding support to enable New Zealand Para sport programmes to have highly trained classifiers conducting accurate and reliable classification outcomes. Scholarships were awarded to Andrew Ralph to attend a National Para badminton classifier seminar, Kirsty Walker to attend an International Para cycling classifiers seminar, Sandra Blewett to attend a National technical classifier upskilling seminar, Hamish Ashton to attend a National Shooting Para sport classifiers seminar and Marguerite Christophers to attend an IPC Classification Experts meeting.

PYEONGCHANG 2018 PARALYMPIC WINTER GAMES

The New Zealand Paralympic Team delivered both on and off the snow in PyeongChang 2018.

Paralympics New Zealand’s (PNZ) role is to prepare, select, and lead the New Zealand Paralympic Team, for both the summer and winter Paralympic Games, creating a high performance environment that supports Paralympians to perform at their best at this pinnacle event.

To best support the Games campaign planning and to ensure the needs of the New Zealand Paralympic Team were met and set-up for success, planning began in 2015 and intensified during 2017. Site visits were instrumental to assist with planning for the Team and cemented relationships with both the PyeongChang 2018 Organising Committee and the International Paralympic Committee (IPC). This long term planning and investment is crucial to the successful delivery of a Paralympic Games campaign, which was highlighted with 100% satisfaction rates of the New Zealand Paralympic Team advising the Games team environment supported and added value to their performance and 100% in agreement that they were all proud to be part of the New Zealand Paralympic Team.

Chef de Mission Ashley Light was appointed in March 2017 and Para athletes were nominated and selected in November 2017. PNZ wishes to thank Ashley Light for his leadership of the Team and Snow Sports New Zealand for their partnership in the lead up to PyeongChang 2018 and their support and preparation of the Para athletes as part of their Para alpine skiing and Para snowboard programmes.

The New Zealand Paralympic Team was farewelled at a very special function held at Government House in Auckland, hosted by the Governor-General and Patron of PNZ, Her Excellency the Right Honourable Dame Patsy Reddy.

As with all Paralympic Games, a close working relationship with the New Zealand Government is critical regarding safety and security for team members, and supporters in South Korea. The support of the New Zealand Embassy in Seoul was greatly appreciated including Ambassadors Clare Fearnley and Roy Fergusson who were consecutively in the Ambassador role throughout 2017 and the Paralympic Games period, Deputy Head of Mission and Consul Adriaan Barnard and their greater team. PNZ wishes to express gratitude for the combined support in the lead up to and during the PyeongChang 2018 Paralympic Winter Games.

The New Zealand Paralympic Team finished 6th in the world for medals won per capita in PyeongChang 2018, previously finishing 9th in the world for medals won per capita at the Sochi 2014, winning 1 gold and 2 bronze medals exceeding the target of 2 medals. This extraordinary success saw New Zealand finish 16th in the world on the overall medal table, a ranking which was retained from the Sochi 2014 Paralympic Winter Games, however with 49 delegations competing in PyeongChang compared to 45 in Sochi this was a great achievement. The New Zealand Paralympic Team have not won multiple medals at a Paralympic Winter Games for 16 years - since Salt Lake City 2002.

In additional to the remarkable results on the field of play, Adam Hall received the Whang Yuon Dai Achievement Award. This prestigious Award is presented to only one male and one female Paralympian at each Paralympic Games who best exemplify the spirit of the Paralympic Games and the Paralympic values.

This is the first time a New Zealander has ever won this Award and as acknowledgement of Adam’s outstanding achievement, a 75-gram pure gold medal was presented to Adam at the closing ceremony held on 18 March 2018.

Following PyeongChang 2018 members of the New Zealand Paralympic Team were welcomed home in a two-part event. Public supporters, media and the Rosehill College Kapa Haka group were at Auckland International Airport on the Team’s arrival back onto New Zealand soil. The second event held at AUT Millennium saw Prime Minister of New Zealand, Rt Hon Jacinda Ardern and the Minister of Disability Issues Hon Carmel Sepuloni along with winter Paralympians from the Arnhem 1980 and Innsbruck 1984 Teams welcome the Team home. We wish to express our sincere thanks to all those that attended and made the return home even more special acknowledging the remarkable achievements of the New Zealand Paralympic Team.

New Zealand has now won a total of 31 winter Paralympic medals, made up of 16 gold, 6 silver and 9 bronze medals. In total the country has won 221 Paralympic medals across both the winter and summer Paralympic Games.

3.3 REVENUE

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefit will flow to the entity and revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received. The following specific recognition criteria must be met before revenue is recognised.

Revenue from non-exchange transactions

Donations

Donations are recognised as revenue upon receipt and include donations from the general public, donations received for specific programme or services or donations in-kind. Donations in-kind include donations received for services and volunteer time and are recognised in revenue and expense when the service or good is received. Donations in-kind are measured at their fair value as at the date of acquisition, ascertained by reference to the cost that would be otherwise incurred by PNZ.

Grant revenue

Grant revenue includes grants given by the Government via Sport NZ and other charitable organisations, philanthropic organisations and businesses. Grant revenue is recognised when the conditions attached to the grant have been complied with. Where there are unfulfilled conditions attaching to the grant, the amount relating to the unfulfilled condition is recognised as a liability and released to revenue as the conditions are fulfilled.

If there are no conditions attached to the Grant, it is recognised when the money is received.

Fundraising revenue

Fundraising revenue includes donations given to the organisation. Fundraising revenue is recognised when the cash is received. As there are no conditions attached to the revenue, the funds are recognized as revenue immediately on receipt.

Revenue from exchange transactions

Membership Fees

Subscriptions received from members are billed annually after the AGM and recognised as revenue.

Sponsorship Income

Sponsorship revenue includes revenue from partnership agreements in exchange for access to commercial rights and benefits. The revenue received from Sponsorship contracts is allocated over the term of the contract. Where sponsorship relates to a particular event, the revenue is recognised when the event occurs.

Interest and dividend income

Interest revenue is recognised as it accrues, using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recognised when the dividend is declared.


3.4 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when PNZ becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.

Financial assets

Financial assets within the scope of PBE IPSAS 29 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement are classified as financial assets at fair value through surplus or deficit, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments or available-for-sale financial assets. The classifications of the financial assets are determined at initial recognition.

The categorisation determines subsequent measurement and whether any resulting income and expense is recognised in surplus or deficit or in other comprehensive revenue and expenses. PNZ financial assets are classified as either financial assets at fair value through surplus or deficit, or loans and receivables. PNZ financial assets include: cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, receivables from non-exchange transactions, receivables from exchange transactions.

Receivables

Receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. After initial recognition, these are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any allowance for impairment. PNZ cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, receivables from non-exchange transactions and receivables from exchange transactions fall into this category of financial instruments.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities include trade and other creditors (excluding GST and PAYE), employee entitlements, loans and borrowings and deferred income (in respect to grants whose conditions are yet to be complied with).

All financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value (plus transaction cost for financial liabilities not at fair value through surplus or deficit) and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method except for financial liabilities at fair value through surplus or deficit.

3.5 CASH & CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash & cash equivalents are short term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

3.6 INVESTMENTS

Short term investments comprise term deposits which have a term of between 90 days and twelve months and do not fall into the category of cash and cash equivalents.

Long term investments comprise term deposits which have a term of twelve months or more.

3.7 PROPERTY PLANT & EQUIPMENT

Property plant & equipmentPlant & equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment loss. When the asset is acquired through a non-exchange transaction, the cost is measured at its fair value at date of acquisition.

Depreciation is charged on a straight line basis over the useful life of the asset.

Office Furniture & Equipment 12% - 50 % DV, 20% SLComputer Equipment 48% DVSports Equipment 39% - 48% DVSoftware 40% DV





3.8 LEASES

Payments on operating lease agreements, where the lessor retains all of the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset, are recognised on a straight line basis over the lease term.

3.9 EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

Liabilities for salaries and annual leave are recognised in surplus or deficit during the period in which the employee provided the related services. Liabilities are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

3.10 INCOME TAX

Due to its charitable nature, PNZ is exempt from income tax.

3.11 GOODS & SERVICES TAX

These financial statements are prepared net of the amount of GST except for receivables and payables, which are stated with the amount of GST included.

The net amount of GST recoverable from or payable to the Inland Revenue Department is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.

3.12 EQUITY

Equity is the community's interest in PNZ, measured as the difference between total assets and liabilities. Equity includes the following components.

Special Projects Reserves

This is a restricted equity reserve created by PNZ for the purpose of financing special projects. The use of these funds is restricted to the specific purpose of the projects as determined by the Board for one off events.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

Judgements

In the process of applying the PNZ accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.

Useful lives

The useful lives and residual values of assets are assessed using the condition and nature to determine potential future use and value from disposal.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements on pages 33 to 46 present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Paralympics New Zealand Incorporated as at 31 December 2018, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the 18 month period then ended in accordance with Public Benefit Entity Standards Reduced Disclosure Regime issued by the New Zealand Accounting Standards Board.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) (ISAs (NZ)). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report.

We are independent of the entity in accordance with Professional and Ethical Standard 1 (Revised) Code of Ethics for Assurance Practitioners issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards Board, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Other than in our capacity as auditor we have no relationship with, or interests in, the Paralympics New Zealand Incorporated.

Other information

The members of the governing body are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the annual report pages 2 to 32 (but does not include the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon), which we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of audit opinion or assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

15. RELATED PARTY NOTE

Board of Trustees

A number of Board of Trustees have donated professional services in their non-trustee business capacities and in relation to other organisations in which they represent to the organisation at nil value.

PNZ records its appreciation for these donated services.

Key Management Personnel

The key management personnel are classified as:

• the members of the Board of Trustees

• Executive Officers, responsible for reporting to the Board of Trustees

Members of the Board of Trustees are not paid an annual fee other than the Chair, who is paid an honorarium.

Executive Officers including the Chief Executive are employed as employees on normal employment terms.

The aggregate level of remuneration paid and the number of persons (measured in “people” for members of the governing body and “full-time equivalents (FTE’s) for Executive Officers including the Chief Executive in each class of key management personnel is presented below:

2018 – 18 MONTHS 2017 – 12 MONTHS

Remuneration FTE’s Remuneration FTE’s

Board of Trustees $ 18,180 0.12 $ 22,071 0.30

Executive Officers $903,984 4.88 $603,785 4.88

16. EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING DATE

The Board of Trustees and Executive Officers are not aware of any other matters or circumstances since the end of the reporting period, not otherwise dealt with in these financial statements that have significantly or may significantly affect the operations of PNZ.

17. RETROSPECTIVE RESTATEMENT OF ERRORS

During 2018, PNZ discovered an amount of grant revenue that had previously been recognised as income in advance that should have been recognised as revenue on receipt due to lack of an enforceable use or return condition. As a result, an amount of $183,840 which was previously recorded as income in advance has been restated to be reflected with grant revenue and the surplus for the 2017 year.

In 2017 the entity reported:

(RESTATED) 2017

AS PREVIOUSLY

REPORTED

$ $

Grant revenue 2,105,495 1,921,655

Other operating revenue 1,651,079 1,651,079

Total revenue 3,756,574 3,572,734

Expenses (4,018,865) (4,018,865)

Total comprehensive revenue and expenses (262,291) (446,131)

Transfers that were made between reserves in the previous year as a result of the loss previously reported have also been reversed with no impact on overall equity balance. The Board of Trustees has also resolved to longer separately disclose a designated funds reserve. Funds previously recorded under this reserve have been transferred into Accumulated Comprehensive Revenue and Expenses.


45

If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of the Trustees for the financial statements

The Board of Trustees are responsible, on behalf of Paralympics New Zealand Incorporated, for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with Public Benefit Entity Standards Reduced Disclosure Regime, and for such internal control as those charged with governance determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible, on behalf of the entity, for assessing the Paralympics New Zealand Incorporated’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the members of the governing body either intend to liquidate the entity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (NZ) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. A further description of the auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located at the XRB’s website at:

Who we report to

This report is made solely to the members, as a body. Our audit has been undertaken so that we might state to the members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the entity and the members as a body, for our work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
